Jewelry Making Idea: Made with Love Charm Bracelet

Made with Love Charm Bracelet
This bracelet is so pretty and playful all in one. Wear it all year round or as a special treat for your wrist for Valentine's Day. The two different heart charms are surrounded by a beautiful combination of rose Swarovski crystals, siam Czech fire polished crystals, and orchid round druks. The heart-shaped clasp makes for the perfect finishing touch. The completed length is approximately 7 ½” but you can easily make it bigger by using a longer piece of chain.

Directions:
Step 1. Cut a piece of chain so you have 25 links.   Our bracelet is 7.5 inches, or 25 links for that length, including the Clasp. To make it longer, simply cut a longer piece of chain for each end.
Step 2. Twist open a Jump Ring and insert one end of the Chain and one side of the Toggle Clasp. Twist the Jump Ring closed. Repeat for the opposite end of the Chain using the other end of the Toggle Clasp.
Step 3. Onto each of 8 Head Pins, place a Druk.
Step 4. Using a Side Cutter cut off the excess of each Head Pin leaving approximately 1/2". For each Head Pin, using flat nose pliers, bend the 1/2" piece of wire 90°. Using Round Nose Pliers, bend the 1/2" piece of wire into a large loop, but do not close tightly. Set the Head Pins aside
Step 5. Onto each of 8 Head Pins, place a 5mm Rose Crystal. Repeat Step 4.
Step 6. Onto each of 16 Head Pins, place a 4mm Siam Crystal. Repeat Step 4.
Step 7. Starting with the middle link, you will be adding Charms and the Head Pins that you have prepared to the bracelet links. The bracelet has 25 links.

Link #13 (Middle link): Twist open a Jump Ring and insert a “Made with Love” Charm, then loop onto the middle link of the bracelet and twist the Jump Ring closed.
Link #12: Add a Druk, a Rose Crystal, a Siam Crystal, and a Siam Crystal to this link. Once around the link, you may close each Head Pin tightly. See graphic for suggested placement on each link.
Link #11: Attach a Spiral Heart Charm with a Jump Ring.
Link #10: Repeat what you did for Link #12
Link #9: Repeat what you did for Link #13
Link #8 & #7: Repeat what you did for Link #12
Now you will go the opposite way from the middle (from Link #13)
Link #14: Repeat what you did for Link #12
